conditions, the seasonal speed bumps on roads will be removed by November. We have a new Recreation Coordinator- Sam Cormier, who is rolling out several new programs this fall. In the past, there has been an emphasis on youth programming which we are now balancing out with adult/senior programs. Some of the programs starting up in November are Adult Pickleball, Chair Yoga, Yoga, a Fraud Prevention Workshop, and Independent Living Socials. For more information on current/future programs, please visit: www.app.univerusrec.com/middlesexcentrepub/courses or email recreation@middlesexcenter.ca. perfect dessert was a large piece of dark chocolate cake nestling beside two large scoops of icy-cold, silky-smooth vanilla ice cream. Finishing off the picnic supper with this queen of desserts – and tomorrow was the beginning of the Summer Holidays! Things couldn’t get any better than that! Some games and races for the kids while the adults visited together concluded the event by nine o’clock. Families made their way to their cars, the kids calling good-byes to each other. In many cases, we wouldn’t see each other until September and for grade eight graduates, it was off to high school and a whole new adventure. Graduation ceremonies for public school students were still in the future when consolidated schools came into being. Nobody thought of any special treatment because you were simply doing what was expected of you. Summer Holidays started tomorrow and that was enough. Finally, Councillor Sue Cates-Komoka Kilworth and I are continuing to work through the 2025 budget process with staff. The budget challenges for 2025 are inflationary cost increases, such as a 22% rise in policing costs and infrastructure requiring renewal or replacement. That’s it for this month. Feel free to email, call or text me.

John Caverhill is the younger son of the late Ernest Caverhill and Susie Boyd of Lobo Township. John’s writings often reflect his experiences and observations of growing up on the family farm, attending the one room school, S. S. No. 7 Lobo (Bear Creek School), and Vanneck United Church. John’s sense of humour and story-telling skills are legendary. His keen observation skills have augmented his repertoire .
The roundabouts at the five corners in Komoka-Kilworth and Oxford at Gideon are progressing, and both should be completed by the end of November/mid-December. The Municipal Office upgrade is going well. The building is completely closed; therefore, the interior work can proceed with no weather impact. We are hoping to have a Council meeting there in February next year. There will be an open house and tours of the office. More on that later via the monthly Municipal Update and Facebook. Our summer construction projects have wrapped up and we are preparing for winter road maintenance. Depending on weather
